Regarding (4), do you have any precedents I could use?
Thank you!
Why would a purchase option for the next buyer mitigate multiple compression? If the next buyer wants to repurchase the property and they would need to pay the property-owner for it, they're not going to pay you, the owner of the opco, a larger purchase price for that privilege...
